Known faults - Mercedes E240 - James
I am trying to find out whether other owners are experiencing similar problems with the newer (2000 models) versions of this car.

I am having numerous intermittent faults appear on the dashboard panel such as malfunctioning air con, cruise control, ESP, ABS etc etc

They often disappear when the car is stopped and re-started but th ESP returns after a while.

Any ideas what might be causing the problems, are they known?

thanks

so is everybody else in Germany it is catastrophic .From being the best to an also ran.The cost cutting that has gone on the German factories is proving to be disasterous.A friend of mine who worked in Stuttgart has left in disgust.It is now being run by accountants ,and the engineers word is now seldom heard on quality matters.

Current RHD C Class are being built in South Africa. Or rather they are not being built because there is a strike.
